I really hope they bring some better fights to Fox. I feel like they only show the Victor Ortiz's, Bertos, Collazo's, Devon Alexander's of every division on Fox & keep all the big names on Showtime. I thought the point of PBC was to bring world class fighters to free television. It started off that way but now it seems like everyone that matters only fights on showtime and nobody fights on CBS anymore

It's great that the deal includes shoulder programming to promote the fights. Also suggests that the fights shown as part of this deal will include the top-level PBC fighters.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO i thought PBC was defunct? dead?????? lmaooooooooooooooo haters gonna hate but the train keeps moving

what they need to do is become a promoter legally, and create their own league and title

SHO/CBS are still going to get the A cards.

FOX/FS1 might get a couple big ones, but the majority will be run-of-the-mill PBC cards. They have a lot of hours to fill with UFC leaving.

You think they're gonna give throw away cards to Fox? The deal calls for Fox to do PBC PPVs and hold prelims shows on FS1 and FS2. Big fights will be on FOX and SHO.

Big fights will be on SHO (at least 12) and FOX (10) and lower level will be on FS1 (12) and BounceTV(4.)
